Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 30 seconds. I want to respond to something that was said in the initial opening by the minority. The student loan bill passed this House over a month ago. It has been sitting in the Senate for the entire month of June. The problem with student loans could have been addressed by the other body. It could have been addressed prior to the July 1 deadline, which was a deadline, after all, that the Democrats had set when they were in the majority. So to say that the House has not done its work is in fact not correct. The House has done its work. We await the other body to act. I reserve the balance of my time.
